SAN DIEGO ---- This foursome doesn't worry about banging golf balls out of bounds. Opposing ball-carriers? That's a different story.

The strength of a decent Chargers defense is the four linebackers in its 3-4 alignment.

Donnie Edwards and Randall Godfrey are back patrolling the interior, with Steve Foley and Ben Leber on the outside. On passing downs, the likes of Shaun Phillips and Shawne Merriman appear.</blockquote>
